No VRE Changes from Shutdown; Some Metro Modifications

VRE and Metro are still running a normal schedule despite the shutdown of the government, but that could change.
VRE saw a drop of about 6,600 riders by yesterday morning, but officials say it's not enough to reduce service yet. Metro's seeing a 22% drop late this week, so it's already switching to six car trains, until further notice.
